Sri Lanka has left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 8.75% in its latest policy decision, according to data updated on 30 September 2026. The move keeps borrowing costs at the same level as the previous month, signaling a continued pause in monetary policy adjustments on a month-over-month basis.

The decision suggests policymakers are maintaining a steady stance, with no further tightening or easing compared to the prior month’s position. With the policy rate flat at 8.75% month-over-month, the central bank appears focused on assessing the impact of earlier rate actions on inflation, financial conditions, and the broader economy before considering any future shifts in its interest rate trajectory.
